I am very tired this week. Beginning to announce my resignation at church (emotional drain) and having to take some extra de-escalation/restraint techniques class three days after work for the school system makes for a very tired and sluggish alldat.

Today was a great day at work. We shall refer to it as Free Food Friday. The day started with free breakfast from Chick-fil-A and later free snacks and drinks from some club or parent group. Free food is a great way to make a teacher or teacher's aide happy!

Free food is always great (especially Chick-fil-A!

Oh wow that sounds like a lot of fun. Have a great time.

Awesome news, Staybrite. I hope it all goes well. Isn't the rehearsal dinner also called the grooms dinner, i.e., isn't it something to stanch the bleeding of money because the grooms family pays?

Had to look up Chick-fil-a. I'm sorry guys, but there is no way that I will believe their marketing ploy that theirs is the home of the "original chicken sandwich." I'm pretty sure the chicken sandwich existed before 1964.

The chicken sandwich: In 1946, Atlanta restaurant owner Truett Cathy created an alternative to the hamburger when he placed a piece of boneless grilled chicken inside a bun and dubbed it the "Chick-fil-A." Now more than 70 years and 1,500 restaurants later, Chick-fil-A's slogan is, "We didn't invent the chicken. Just the chicken sandwich."

Poppy-cock! Years before 1946, fried chicken sandwiches were a popular treat in African American cookeries. The Chick-fil-A dude is rewriting the history of the sandwich! lol

This may not have been well known, though. The Civil Rights movement would not have happened yet, and most white folks would not have gone into an establishment that served blacks. A fried chicken sandwich COULD have existed in some of those places but would not have been well known about. If any of those places did not become chains, that history would have been lost.

Also, except in major cities, there were not tons of restaurants around. Americans didn't eat out like we do now. So, you could have a lot of things created before then that were just not documented and forgotten when some little "mom & pop" place closed its doors in some little town.

True. I guess my feathers are fluffed about it because here we are in the 21st century and they're still marketing it as a world first. It's total nonsense.

Today was an emotional day. Our church voted in a new pastor while the youth pastor (me) announced his resignation.
